Looking for warmth

After a long delay we are once again underway. Bernie was cleared medically just before Christmas, but still needed a bit of stamina building. Christmas, New Year and Bernie's Birthday were celebrated in style with friends, Arlene and Sue. Then it was a matter of waiting out the record cold spell hitting the entire east coast.

We departed Isle-of-Palms thursday (14 Jan 10), making good distance by going outside the first 2 days. After deciding that the alternator was no longer charging batteries we sat out at anchor saturday afternoon and sunday for replacement. The weather was not very nice so Bernie had a good excuse for watching football both days. Today was a day for playing the tides on the ICW and have now anchored for the night in Brunswick, GA. We will press on in the morning, probably off-shore again to avoid shallow spots. The weather has been slowly warming but the generator has been getting quite a work-out to keep us warm. During the day the alcohol heater has been going most of the time so we are comfortable. Scupper seems to be back in her routine of traveling and doing well.

We hope to be in Miami before long.


Bernie, Carol & Scupper
